I'm amazed that this show has been on (Wednesdays, 8.30pm, C4) for three weeks and no one here seems to have mentioned it. The latest addition to Four's roster of what one poster (it may well have been Ganesh) called "pull your socks up, young man" shows, it features families who have been brought to the end of their tethers by their undisciplined dogs, receiving advice from dog behaviour expert Victoria Stilwell, who claims never to have been bitten in fifteen years' professional dog-handling.
So far, so humdrum. Until you factor in hordes of very cute but completely uncontrollable pooches haring around, BARKBARKBARKing and leaping at the camera like Sam Raimi nightmare demons, harassed husbands who haven't been able to sleep with their wives for months because Teddy Pom-pom rules the bedroom with his iron paws, weird but apparently effective instructions like learning to bark the way dogs do when they tell each other off (!)... and best of all for fans of the Blatant Subtext of Kim and Aggie, Supernanny, Naomi Cleaver and co., Miss Stilwell herself, an Emma Peel-ish English rose whom the producers have seen fit to style like Tura Satana.
